Basically yes but it's not a full requirement.
If we all move to git we can start to use it to track all our code
patches and those being manage as normal refs on git
itself. Basically, when exporting the source for Red Hat or Debian
package building we would need to make a diff and put it somewhere on
our building system.
Nowadays, we have debian/patches/* but we could use
debian/patches/debian_specific.patch that would be all those together
and made automatically. That would allow us to share changes since we
would basically cherry-pick from etch other.
What do you think?
